Restaurante Royal Marina

Estremadura & Ribatejo


A Swiss owner-chef runs the kitchen, and his friendly Portuguese wife runs the floor. This pleasant, unpretentious spot on the quay has a slightly antiquated maritime feel and serves up great seafood. And (surprise!) it whips up international treats such as a hits-the-spot nasi goreng. It is happy to cater to vegetarians.
